Merry Christmas , everyone :)
I’m photoglapher in Japan.
I’ve been thinking a lot about CC0 and CC-BY lately.
I make a small amount of money from my plant photos.
On the other hand, I would like to see my photos used in more ways, because I believe that this will contribute to the development of culture.
The difference between CC0 and CC-BY is whether or not the author’s name is included.
However, if the inclusion of the author’s name seems to be a hindrance to the use of the photos, we are considering making the rights of the photos CC0.
Do you have any trouble handling the difference between CC0 and CC-BY when actually regarding the use of photos?
Please let us know your opinion about CC0 and CC-BY.
I have read the following links which may be helpful.
